iPod Nano Gets Blinged Out - Proves Watches Never Went Out
A friend of mine did a funny thing. He bought himself a new iPod Nano - the 6th generation one that everyone has been wearing like a watch - and started to bling it out. Kenneth Tong is the type of guy who does this sort of thing. A fan of diamonds and other shiny precious things, he would never have just worn the iPod Nano like a watch the "normal" way on a NATO strap on in one of those cheap silicone things you can buy. No, he needed it to have diamonds, which the bracelet he had custom made for it does.But it got me thinking. Not about diamond decoration - people have been decorating things they like with diamonds for eons. More about the allure of the iPod Nano as a watch. People have been remarking on how "watches are dying." Referring to the fact that some people are choosing their mobile phones over watches.

ROO Movement and General Questions
Advice needed........ I am very fond of chronographs and the AP ROO is growing on me. I have been trying to research AP (website has way too many offerings for me to sort through) and been peeking in around here from time to time for info but I have a few questions.1. Which 44mm AP model has the panda dial and black ceramic bezel?2. Out of curiosity is there a 44mm Diver?3. Some people say the chrono movements are outsourced to JLC some say in house....does anyone have a clear and accurate answer?4. The rose gold one thats 44mm that has the black ceramic bezel and black dial, which model is that?I have no way of looking at these locally as there are no dealers, I would like to do as much research as possible so I am prepared on my upcoming trip as there are ADs there. Thanks in advance!

Spring bar, tang buckle and strap size for 5110
Hi all,I'd like to upgrade a few parts on my 5110, which is still rockin' the original strap/spring bars.Does anyone know what the correct size of quick release spring bars to buy for the 5110? My guess is 21/20mm, but wanted to triple check before buying.Also, I was thinking of swapping the deployant for a tang buckle. What is the correct tang buckle size? 16mm?I realize I'd have to buy a new strap to fit the tang buckle and was assuming the strap dimensions would still be 20mm lug and 16mm end. Hope that is also correct.Thanks for the help!

Chrono choices
Just for fun, which combination of chronos would you choose and why? (Assuming the 5070 is not an option).
